NHL Trade Deadline Thread: Part IV - Cole Heads to a Meeting

[Speaking Moistly]

The big thing with the fantasies of blowing the team up is that a lot of their woes appear to be mental and effort related. It’s not a roster that’s bereft of talent or full of chronic chokers. You’ve got to address that side of this.

For all JR has complained about the players and traded them, the coaching staff and front office need similar consequences as well. JR has made some bad moves and the coaching staff isn’t a group of victims to the players spitefully failing them.

i would if i knew how

Think only a Mod can do it

I know it's not a popular opinion, but I'd absolutely listen to offers for Horny. Just have a feeling he's going to go the way of others like Lucic, Backes, etc.. I think he'd bring a hefty return.

My guess is that you wouldn't get a return back that would justify moving him right now. If he takes a step back? Then you look at it and pray the other team didn't notice the step back.

The only trade I wanna see us make is Cullen for a pick

This is why I want Blueger in the lineup full time. McCann was a solid add as well. Those guys bust their ass every second they're on the ice. They're young, full of energy and want to prove they belong.

Re: IcedCapp selling

I agree. They should really sell JJ

I'm not so sure "right now" matters.

I think some are FINALLY starting to come around on that. I know it makes it harder to process since he's a fan favorite but honestly I think it's been kinda obvious for a year or so.

 

[Shrimper]

Weal to Montreal. Always liked him

 

[Empoleon8771]

Well next year certainly does, and I don't think you'd get a return right now that would make you happy to not have him next year.

I'm fine with exploring the idea, I just have some doubts on the Penguins getting a return that's worth their while to move him.

 

[pensfan71]

Lol Neal has 5 goals??? Jfc

 

[ImporterExporter]

Sell.

We are nowhere near good enough to win a Cup this year.

We have an atrocious D and shit goal tending.

And apparently the past year plus has been about getting away from speed/skill and more to the shit that doesn't work in this league anymore. Size and slow footed neanderthals.

Hoooooray!

 

[Shrimper]

 

[pensfan71]

I'd be ok with selling

 

[Clare2904]

Weal to Montreal. Always liked him

Chaput going the other way

 

[Shrimper]

Chaput to ARI for Weal.

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

Not like they were trading JJ anyway, but with Dumo and possibly Letang out.. there's no hope he's traded now..

 

[Malkinstheman]

Wow, I expected to wake up to a bunch of trades. Barely anything's even happened.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Yeah I hear you. Like the poster said above... they should have let his name slip months back because now is the time you could cash in big on him. Still possible to get a lot on draft day in a package, though. Also for the record still totally willing to move Kessel... even along WITH Hornqvist.

His freed up cap hit + return we get for him would be what I'm interested in. Especially with what looks like a ton of UFAs going to market.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Sell.

I see you're in the land of make believe. Still hurt that the Penguins didn't keep Fleury?

 

[3ladesof5teel]

Screw selling.......let's make some hockey trades like in the 90s. We got some big pieces to move out . Keep the core and move it out.

I remember some of those trades in the 90s thinking holy shit . But they worked out
